Peparethos City: Skopelos was originally known as Peparethos, and its earliest settlers were Cretans from the ancient city of Knossos. The island was named after Peparethos, the brother of the Cretan leader Staphylus.
Venetian Castle of Skopelos: Located in the ancient village of Peparithos, which is the capital (Chora) of Skopelos, the castle was first restored by the Venetians in the 13th century. Today, parts of its grand walls still remain. The castle is linked to the island’s capital and can be seen from every part of it. By ascending the steps that begin at the harbor’s edge in Panagitsa of Pyrgos, visitors can explore the fortress up close and enjoy the stunning view.
